Lukaku And Hazard Sent Home From Belgium Camp

The pair will not feature in Sunday's Nations League third-place play-off against Italy.

Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard have been excused for the remainder of the international window due to concerns over their fitness, Belgium coach Roberto Martinez confirmed on Saturday. 

The Chelsea and Real Madrid stars both played in Belgium's UEFA Nations League semi-final defeat to France on Thursday, with the former scoring in the 3-2 reverse. 

But they will not take part in Sunday's third-place play-off against Italy after struggling with muscular fatigue following the last-four clash.
